Students are showing a different type of spirit during the Halloween season in order to give back to children in need throughout the community.
UNICEF at OU, the official UNICEF campus initiative chapter at the University of Oklahoma, is participating in the 62nd annual Trick-or-Treat for UNICEF campaign. Participants of Trick-or-Treat for UNICEF tote the organization’s iconic orange box door-to-door on Halloween, collecting funds for the worldwide organization aimed at helping and protecting children, according to UNICEF’s website.
Matt Bebb, a member of UNICEF at OU, has been contacting organizations, student groups and local businesses to participate in the fundraising project.
“The purpose of the project is to collect small donations from the various people we have contacted, and then send the money back to UNICEF,” Bebb said.
Those interested in helping can now pick up Trick-or-Treat for UNICEF boxes in Hester Hall, room 150. Boxes must be returned by Oct. 26.
